MTV spoke to Elizabeth Banks, who plays Daily Bugle secretary Betty Brant in the “Spider-Man” movies, about what we can expect for the third installment. She broke a little news:

“I do definitely sort of explore a little bit more of my relationship with Peter Parker,” revealed Banks, who portrays J. Jonah Jameson employee Betty Brant in the movies. “I learned my lesson a long time ago that you never comment on how big your part is going to be in movies because you can always be cut out.”

Still, Banks admitted, the groundwork is being laid for a Peter-Betty relationship much like the office romance they shared in the comics. Banks discussed a list of Peter Parker paramours that will also include Mary Jane Watson (Dunst) and Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard). “Peter Parker â€” he actually is Hugh Hefner.

“I think everyone knows he does end up with Mary Jane Watson,” Banks said. “You’ll just have to wait and see in 2007.”
